Something 2 Pray About

I've been trying to think of something to write and my mind just can't find it's way to the words. It's like a tornado going on in my head. I have so many things on my mind; job, family and friends. You know, LIFE.

I wake up every morning and am so thankful for yet another day. I squeeze more into a day that a healthy person would, but I feel like I have to. I'm not really complaining; at least I shouldn't because I have family and friends with real needs.

I pray for Jack Jablonski for strength and healing. I pray that he will someday be able to walk again.
I pray for my Facebook Friend Sheri who is having knee surgery; a speedy recovery since I'm going to see her in 3 weeks to scrapbook.
I pray for my friend Laurie who had surgery. A speedy recovery to her.
I pray for my in-laws who are doing okay, but are aging quickly and just are not the same. It's so hard to see them not their usual feisty selves.
I pray for Katie (another Facebook Friend) whose family needed some extra prayers sent their way.
I pray for my kids for the usual safety, health, and success in everything they do. The economy is really taking a toll on them.
I pray that I will someday see my daughter and grand-daughters again. Oh, how I miss them.
I pray for my grandkids who I love so deeply and just want to lock them in my arms and protect them.
I pray for my husband who needs to get back to work, or he'll need protection!
I pray for my kid's brother from another mother who will be moving (driving) to California. May they arrive safe with everything they leave with and find jobs before school starts.
I pray for some people at work, who need lots of strength and peace and understanding.
I pray for my own strength and peace and success in handling all my multiple tasks.
I pray for my Oak Haven Church family that they can continue to teach the Word in a way that people will understand.
I pray for our country, our economy, our health.
I pray that the elections will soon be over.
I pray that we hit the PowerBall this week. We were only two numbers away last time. We reinvested the winnings, so we have a lot of numbers - it could happen.

Life is so good. But some days there is so much sadness, it's hard to keep a smile on my face. I pray that I will always be grateful for the blessings in my life and that I can, and will, be a blessing to others. It's a weird kind of day; good and bad, happy and sad. A million emotions all at once. Lord clear my mind and let me focus on being the person You intended me to be. I know You have me here for a purpose. Help me to fulfill it!
